The reason I have not tried and do not recommend this is because I don't know the consequences of this action and do not trust Apple, or any other profit-maximising corporation, to tell me exactly what these consequences will be.

I am primarily concerned that this action may unlock back-doors or activate some bug which may decrease OS security in other, undocumented, ways additionally to what Apple states in the link about SIP (which you posted). I am also afraid that this bypassing the SIP could be a "challenge" to lure those still seeking Absolute Freedom in OS into trying it out and then Apple opening a huge backdoor on them and on top of that lecturing them with a "I told you so" as the cherry in the pwned pie.

The OS I trust, use and recommend is Linux. For Linux, I have done and recommended things equivalent to bypassing the SIP. But I will not do that for Apple. It's not FUD, it's not propaganda. It's just like refusing candy from a stranger, or an apple from the serpent. As simple as that.
